Wow, I’m amazed!

 I don't know what to say… 

 

Red is too general, 

Burgundy is too dark 

Cherry red: not precise 

This is tough, describing a ravishing woman. 

No, I know, her long straight hair is scarlet. 

This veil around her face sublimes her perfect face. 

 

To picture her, 

All I need is to close my eyes. 

I see her face and her scarlet hair, 

Her pleated skirt, her white shirt with frills. 

Above all, what I see is a round white thing, 

And there are strawberries!

 

I know, it’s a cake!

Yes, she is holding a strawberry cream cake in her delicate hands. 

 

She is so close, yet so far away.

All I can do is contemplate her, 

All I can do is hear her, 

But I can’t come any closer.

I can only love her from where I am.
